Germany's far-right AfD bids for first taste of power in eastern vote
If it wins an outright majority in Saxony-Anhalt, it would be the first time a far-right party has held state-level power in Germany since World War Two.

The Alternative für Deutschland party is aiming to secure a majority in the regional parliament of Saxony-Anhalt.
An outright win would mark the first time a far-right party has held state-level power in the nation's post-war era.
For the AfD's opponents, this is a point of serious peril. But the party sees it as a stepping stone towards its dreams of nationwide power.
That was as Berlin, this week, publicly blamed Moscow for a failed drone attack on Leipzig/Halle Airport. The Kremlin has denied involvement.
